Al Pacino stars as Tony Montana, an exiled Cuban criminal who goes to work for Miami drug lord Robert Loggia. Montana rises to the top of Florida's crime chain, appropriating Loggia's cokehead mistress (Michelle Pfeiffer) in the process. Howard Hawks' "X Marks the Spot" motif in depicting the story line's many murders is dispensed with in the 1983 Scarface; instead, we are inundated with blood by the bucketful, especially in the now-infamous buzz saw scene. One carry-over from the original Scarface is Tony Montana's incestuous yearnings for his sister Gina (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio). The screenplay for the 1983 Scarface was written by Oliver Stone. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

With the release of the 1998 =Scarface Special Edition, many probably assumed they'd seen the definitive DVD release of Brian De Palma's 1983 cult classic. Then along came this disc, the 20th Anniversary Edition. And while diehard fans will no doubt want to hold on to their copies of the Special Edition for the behind-the-scenes documentary, the technical attributes of this one blow its predecessor away. Presented in a 2.35:1 widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio, the film features both Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS soundtracks. Additionally, Spanish and French Dolby Digital 2.0 tracks as well as Spanish and French subtitles are also included. And while the aforementioned documentary is nowhere to be seen here, viewers are treated to bonus features that include five new featurettes and 22 minutes of deleted scenes, making this the must-have disc of the two releases. Those who prefer a 1.33:1 transfer will be glad to know that a full-screen version of the Anniversary Edition was released simultaneously. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide
